Chapter 4 The time when he was powerless

In this case, the system had said it eight times if not ten times. Xi Nian obviously didn't take it to heart and turned a deaf ear to it. He avoided the reporters swarming in and went backstage to change his clothes and prepare to leave.

Sun Ming followed him all the way, and when he saw this, he quickly blocked the way: "Hey, hey, why are you walking? There are so many reporters outside waiting for you, why don't you go out and show your face."

Xi Nian was wearing a black sportswear, carrying a travel bag on his left shoulder. He stretched out his hand to pull the zipper to his chin, covering most of his face, without any intention of being interviewed: "I won't go."

A pair of hands were stuck in his trouser pockets. In a place where no one could see, the fingertips began to twitch slightly uncontrollably, and he clenched his fists and suppressed them.

Hearing this, Sun Ming adjusted his glasses, frowned, and said with a little irritation in his voice: "You stole Su Ge's limelight this time, and things will not end so easily. His contract period with the company has expired, and the senior management is trying to find a way to let him go."He renews the contract, if he holds a grudge against you and uses this matter as a threat, think about the consequences yourself!"

The relationship between the agent and the artist is a mutually beneficial relationship. Both prosper and suffer. Being able to be in the limelight for many years is a good thing for Sun Ming, but this kind of "limelight" is obviously not what the company's senior management wants to see.

Between an idol who has already become famous and a newcomer whose future is uncertain, any fool knows how to choose.

However, Xi Nian only said three words: "Follow them."

Shanxing Entertainment is obviously not a good choice, because the contract regulations are too harsh, and many of its artists are in lawsuits. Their reputation is getting worse and worse, and their strength is also declining. He has no plans to sign a long-term contract.

Sun Ming didn't know what he was thinking at this time: "Your brain is stuck?! It's just a small competition. It doesn't matter if you lose to Su Ge. There will be more opportunities in the future. If you overpower him now, you will be banned on Weibo tomorrow."His fans were slaughtered in such a bloody manner that they simply didn’t know what to say!”

He couldn't bear to see Xi Nian's painless appearance, his chest heaving up and down. After speaking, he sneered and turned around angrily and left.

It was impossible for Xi Nian to chase him. He just lowered his eyes and glanced at his right hand. The wrist bone was swollen to the naked eye. He pulled down his sleeve without leaving any trace. He was about to go to the hospital for a visit when he suddenly remembered that he left his cell phone in the lounge.In the cabinet, he turned back.

The lounge was deserted.

Xi Nian took out his mobile phone from the cabinet. The time was clearly displayed on it. The screen flashed with weak fluorescence, but it went out after a while.

No. 26.

He vaguely remembered that at this time in his last life, the Weibo headlines the next morning were dominated by the news of a well-known actor's cheating, which caused quite a disturbance, and the man behind the scenes was Lu Xingzhe.

So by rough calculation, that stinky paparazzi’s leg was probably injured tonight?

Xi Nian held the cabinet door with one hand, not knowing what he was thinking. After a moment, he curled his lips. System 009 was secretly observing, always feeling that he was gloating about his misfortune, but upon closer inspection, it didn't look like it.

"Congratulations, first place."

Just when Xi Nian was lost in thought, a strange voice suddenly sounded behind him. He turned around and found that it was Su Ge. His eyebrows were slightly raised, knowing that the other party was looking for trouble.

Su Ge was surrounded and questioned by reporters for a long time, and his face looked as ugly as possible. He walked to the water dispenser and took a glass of water. His heart was filled with anger, and when he saw Xi Nian's nonchalant expression,Leng Bingbing asked: "Are you very proud?"

Xi Nian had been in the entertainment industry for quite a long time in his previous life. Su Ge's verbally provocative tricks were like a child's play house to him. He was not even in the mood to deal with it. Hearing this, he turned sideways to avoid him and went straight towards him.Walk outside.

No vicious words can be more egregious than this indifference.

Su Ge was already very angry because he had lost face. He could have made it to the finals, but he was kicked out in the knockout round and lost a lot of exposure opportunities. When he saw this, he stepped forward to block Xi Nian's path: "It was only a few o'clock.Let’s go, why don’t you stay and watch the next game?”

He was holding a cup in his hand, filled with boiling water. When he was talking, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he suddenly seemed to have stumbled, tilted his body, and fell straight towards Xi Nian. At the same time, he deliberately exclaimedMake a sound——

"careful!"

The scalding hot water poured down instantly. Xi Nian reacted and quickly backed away. Seeing this, Su Ge's eyes flashed darkly, and he deliberately held his arm to prevent him from moving. Then he saw Xi Nian's sleeves were instantly soaked with hot water as he wished.It dripped down his wrist and meandered on the tiled floor——

The exposed backs of Xi Nian's hands began to turn red and even blistered to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Su Ge secretly curled his lips, stood up straight, and finally let go of him. He looked at the empty paper cup in his hand, spread his hands and shrugged without sincerity, "Sorry, I didn't stand firm just now."

After finishing speaking, he crumpled the empty paper cup into a ball, threw it into the trash can, and said sarcastically: "Don't forget the competition the day after tomorrow, but you must come back with first place."

When something like this happens, the person involved can either choose to forgive or make it public. Unfortunately, the former cannot be done in Xi Nian, and the latter is not believed by anyone if it is reported.

The door to the lounge was ajar, and Su Ge was about to leave when suddenly there was a strong force behind him, and then he was kicked to the ground. He couldn't get up for a long time, and the door also fell forward because of him.It closed with a forceful click.

Xi Nian stood behind him, unzipped his face expressionlessly, took off his coat soaked in hot water and threw it on the bench, then leaned over and grabbed his collar, lifted him up from the ground, and whispered: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's a competition or not. Friendship comes first, competition comes second."

When he said this, the smile on his lips grew louder, but it only made people feel scared. Xi Nian turned a blind eye to his injured right hand, tightly restrained Su Ge's neck, and dragged him to the water fountain like a dog., looked at the green light above and said: "Tsk, it turns out there is hot water."

Su Ge was not as strong as him, and his face turned red and his neck was thick as he struggled. Hearing this, he seemed to realize what Xi Nian was going to do. His pupils dilated instantly and he kicked his legs desperately: "You are crazy! Let me go quickly!!"

The sun was shining brightly in June and July, and the sunlight spread freely through the glass, but it could not cover up the gloom that had covered the whole body.The system appeared at the right time and appeared with a "ding" sound.

"Warning! Warning! It is detected that the host has performed dangerous behavior and has violated the modification regulations. Please stop immediately!"

Xi Nian turned a deaf ear and used his free hand to draw a cup to get the hot water, as if he wanted to use boiling water to burn his head. Su Ge was frightened when he saw this. He changed his cry for help to begging for mercy and cried bitterly.He said: "Xinian! I was wrong, I was wrong, I beg you, please let me go!!"

Seeing that Xi Nian's actions had not slowed down at all, the system could not help but increase the warning force. The blue light on his body turned into a red light and flashed non-stop: "Please stop the host's current behavior, otherwise this picture will be uploaded to the Interstellar Headquarters. If it is found to be in violation of the regulations,, will lose the chance of rebirth.”

After the system finished speaking, everything around him suddenly stopped, as if someone pressed the pause button, and was suddenly frozen in place. Then time quickly moved back, and the coat on the bench suddenly was put on Xi Nian again.On his body, the paper cup in the trash can was also pulled by an unknown force and returned to Su Ge's hands.

They were back to when they were fighting just a minute ago.

There is a meandering pool of water on the ground, still steaming faintly.

Xi Nian's whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move. The sleeve of his right hand was dripping with water, burning hot.

He saw Su Ge standing in front of him, crumpling the paper cup in his hand and throwing it into the trash can. His actions were the same as a minute ago, and his tone did not change. He said sarcastically: "Don't forget the game the day after tomorrow, butI must come back with first place."

After speaking, he patted the dust on his sleeves, turned around and left.

Xi Nian's eyebrows were cold, and he still wanted to blow his head off, but his limbs were stiff, and all his strength was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, and he couldn't even take a step forward.

Knowing that it was the system's fault, Xi Nian could only give up his struggle. He stared at the blue ball of light floating in the air and squinted his eyes. He didn't know whether to praise it or ridicule it: "You came at the right time."

The system's jelly-like blue body trembled, looking extremely soft, and its voice was intermittent, with a stinging sound of electricity: "Host, if you don't do this next time, don't go the wrong way..."

A person cannot take the wrong path in this life.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and paper cannot contain fire. The detours we have taken now and the wrong things we have done will one day be known to everyone.

Surveillance equipment was installed in the lounge. Xi Nian obviously had countless more reliable countermeasures, but he chose the most extreme one. While punishing the perpetrator, he also pulled himself out of the quagmire.

Xi Nian didn't appreciate it. He was not a good person to begin with, so he just said word by word: "Don't meddle in other people's business."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the sink and rinsed the back of his burned-red hands with cold water. Then he left the gym with his bag and drove to the hospital.

The profession of paparazzi is always despicable and contemptible. Coupled with the short-lived nature of scandals, once a target appears, they will swarm him like maned dogs smelling blood, and Lu Xingzhe is undoubtedly the "best one" among them.By".

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the city has fallen into silence. Linglong Bay is a high-end residential area with a quiet environment. Not even pedestrians can be seen at this point. Only the occasional car roars past, and finally disappears into darkness again.

Lu Xingzhe had been squatting under the shade of a tree for eight hours. The camera in his hand was pointed at the gate of the community, not missing any clues, and patiently waiting for the target person to appear. However, the employer on the other end seemed a little impatient and answered the phone one after another.One by one, they kept urging.

The voice on the other side of the microphone was a female. After a while of noise, it suddenly became quiet again: "When can you deliver what I want? He will fly to the United States tomorrow to film. I want to film him and that guy next time."It’s not that easy to have a private meeting with a vixen.”

Lu Xingzhe was chewing gum in his mouth, and the shadows of the trees were whirling, casting a dark shadow on his shoulders. He raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat. The sound was like ice cubes hitting the rim of the cup, exuding a hint of coolness: "Mrs. Jian, urgentWhat."

The woman called Mrs. Jian was very angry: "He is going to divorce me next week, why don't you ask me to be anxious?!"

The smile in Lu Xingzhe's eyes remained unchanged: "You can either wait or find someone else now."

"you"

The woman choked when she heard this, and her complaints were immediately blocked by these words.

Although Lu Xingzhe has a bad reputation, the information he has revealed is 90% true, and the news network is also the most extensive. However, he never shows up, and few people know what he looks like. She also spent a lot of effort to contact Lu Xingzhe this time..

Mrs. Jian unconsciously tightened her grip on the phone, but finally endured it. She tried her best to soften her tone and gritted her teeth: "At eight o'clock tomorrow at the latest, I want evidence of his cheating."

Lu Xingzhe only said three words: "Waiting for news."

Then he cut off the call.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the hazy night, a man and woman who behaved intimately, like a husband and wife, suddenly appeared at the gate of the community.The man was tall and slender, wrapped up so tightly that even his face could not be seen clearly. He held a graceful long-haired woman in his arms and walked towards the black sports car parked on the roadside.

The angle under the shade of the tree couldn't capture the man's face. Even if Lu Xingzhe adjusted the angle, he could only capture a blurry back.He moved his numb legs, thinking that Jian Yihong usually watched him honestly on TV, but secretly he was also an old fox, covering himself up so tightly when he came out in the middle of the night.

Lu Xingzhe looked around and simply hid the camera in the shoulder bag he carried with him. Then he lowered the brim of his hat and walked out. He lowered his head and pretended to be playing with his mobile phone. At first glance, he thought he was just an ordinary passerby.

As you get closer, you can still hear the faint voices of the man and woman.

"When will you divorce that yellow-faced woman?"

"It's coming soon. Be good. I will fly to the United States tomorrow to film. It may take several months to come back. Take care of yourself."

"I can go see you..."

"No, I will be photographed by reporters..."

When Lu Xingzhe saw them getting into the car, he took a few steps back and hid his body in the shadows. He then raised his camera and pointed it at the couple who were inseparably kissing each other in the car. He clicked the shutter and the lens was illuminated by the street lights.Next, an imperceptible flash of white light flashed.

Most artists are sensitive to the camera, not to mention doing bad things. Jian Yihong has been able to stay in the entertainment industry for such a long time. Regardless of his veteran cadre persona, it is also inseparable from his smoothness and shrewdness. He keenly caught the white light of the camera out of the corner of his eye., subconsciously looked out the car window, his face was exposed——

When Lu Xingzhe saw this, he didn't care about hiding his appearance. He directly raised the camera and took a series of pictures. Jian Yihong immediately realized that something was wrong. He reflexively pushed the woman in his arms away and said angrily: "There are reporters!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately covered his face with his collar, stepped on the accelerator and wanted to leave. In a panic, he increased his speed to the fastest speed, but because he couldn't see the direction clearly in the dark, he crashed straight into Lu Xingzhe.

"boom"

Seeing the vehicle approaching, Lu Xingzhe's pupils shrank, and he immediately dodged sideways quickly. Unexpectedly, he was still a step too slow. His left leg was violently hit by the front body of the car, and his whole body rolled directly to the side of the road due to the force. Jian Yihong did not pause at all when he saw this., stepped on the accelerator and fled quickly.

As the sound of the engine faded away, the surrounding roads fell into silence again.

Lu Xingzhe was knocked unconscious, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He struggled to get up from the ground, ignoring the severe pain in his left leg. He first checked the camera in his hand to make sure that the photo just now was not wrong, and then he felt relieved.Come.

The paparazzi business is not easy either. Bruises and bruises are common. Lu Xingzhe glanced at the direction Jian Yihong left, then stuffed the camera into his backpack, staggered up while holding on to the tree trunk on the side of the road, panting to calm the pain all over his body., after a while, he actually smiled.

Forget it, he doesn't like to argue with people who are about to die...

I hope the other party can continue to be so rampant tomorrow.

He used the remaining battery on his phone to send a message to his employer, then picked up the baseball cap on the ground and dusted it, limping to leave. Who would have thought that as soon as he took a step, he would suddenly feel a sharp pain in his knee., causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"Well……"

Lu Xingzhe was usually able to endure it, but now he groaned with a pale face. It was obvious that he was in extreme pain. He hugged his legs and couldn't get up from the ground for a long time. His back was gradually wet with cold sweat.

Oh shit.

Lu Xingzhe closed his eyes and cursed in a low voice. He couldn't help but take a breath. He touched his knees gropingly, and his palm was wet and sticky, like blood. Unfortunately, the night was too dark, making it difficult to distinguish the color of the liquid.

A white car was parked quietly on the roadside not far away. Xi Nian was sitting in the driver's seat, folding his arms, leaning against the back of the chair and closing his eyes. Through the windshield that was dimmed by the street lights, he could see vaguely.Lu Xingzhe could be seen getting up from the ground and then limping forward.

Take two steps and pause hard.

After taking a few more steps, he lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

In a short distance of more than ten meters, the opponent walked for a full five minutes, and he fell countless times.

Xi Nian sat in the car and didn't move. Maybe he wanted to see how Lu Xingzhe got back, or maybe he wanted to see his joke. Several times the system thought he would get out of the car to help, but Xi Nian just adjustedHe sat for a moment, then continued to observe the other person's situation.

He was like an audience, using the windshield as a screen, watching the show comfortably and calmly, while Lu Xingzhe was a person on the TV.

There were few stars to be seen at night in big cities, only the pale moon. Lu Xingzhe broke out in a cold sweat, and when the wind blew, his exposed skin was soaked with chills.He walked intermittently for a while, and finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground with a pale face.

This time he couldn't get up.

His body was covered in gray, his trouser legs were stained with blood, and he looked miserable.

Lu Xingzhe told Xi Nian before that when he was hit by a car, he didn't feel much pain, so he first went to his employer to sell the photos he took at a high price, and then went to the hospital. However, he missed the best time for treatment.

"It's unlucky, I'm just lame." Lu Xingzhe brushed it off.

But obviously, he lied.

It's not that he doesn't feel pain.

But no one can save him.

Lu Xingzhe grew up in an orphanage. He was a wild boy without a father or a mother. He didn't have many friends, but he didn't know if it was because the paparazzi profession was so annoying. He was hit by a car and it was hard to let people down.I felt pitiful for him and could only think of the word "deserved".

At least that's what Xi Nian thought.

His eyes passed through the car window and finally settled on Lu Xingzhe's left leg. There was a dry dark patch on the other side's knee, which was the trace of coagulated blood.

This time is close to early morning, and there will be no more vehicles passing by nearby.

Xi Nian moved slightly, and just when the system thought he was adjusting his sitting position because he was numb again, the man took out a black mask from the compartment and put it on, then opened the door and got out of the car, and walked straight towards Lu Xingzhe.

The author has something to say:

Xi Nian: I am good at boiling water to perm my hair.

System Master: I am good at electric current attacks.

Xi Nian:......
